Thanks Whiteorchid...wish I could relax completely but because I have to have my progesterone checked this cycle and next cycle, I need some sort of idea when ovulation is happening and as my cycles vary I'm going to either guess with cm or use opks. I'd much prefer to forget about it completely for 2 cycles, but no can do. Still I'm sure I will be more relaxed as there will be no chance of baby making. Good luck with your appointment, I really hope the IUI works for you. I said to hubby can we try IVF, he didn't even stop to think about it, just said no...not that I expected a yes but still a maybe or a slight hesitation before saying no would have been nice.
Brave - I'm a fellow dieter and have been doing it for over a year now, for a good 6 months I didn't really lose, was my own doing, I just wasn't trying. I've lost 2 and a half stone which is 35 lbs and have another either 14 lbs or 21 lbs to lose...I say either because I'm not sure of where I want to be. I want to lose the 14 lbs by the time I have my next fertility appointment in June so better get my butt in gear. What eating plan are you following? I keep carbs low, too many carbs and I gain. Its hard, but try and think of a goal, something that is happening this year to focus yourself on. As I said mine is my fertilty appointment, but also hope to go on holiday in June. The friend sending an ultrasound is completely insensitive...I dont know if its that people are stupid, or if they honestly think that because you already have a child this kind of thing doesn't hurt you, and that we don't get upset. I definitely think thats part of it.
tommyg - Ah I really do feel your frustration, long cycles really suck!! Last year when I had a 60 odd day cycle I was almost pulling my hair out, just kept waiting and waiting to ovulate and finally did at cd 40 odd. Used to be normal for me to have one period every 3 months, and I wasn't so fussed back then as was way before I was thinking about babies, but now I pretty much go crazy when it happens.
Good luck lanet!
I shall still be skulking around despite not trying, obviously having my blood tests and then hsg when I eventually get the appointment so will let you know how those go. Decided to try a couple of things that are supposed to help PCOS, the first is cinnamon, apparently it can help insulin resistance and weightloss, so going to have a cup every morning (says to put it with hot water and honey) apparently gets your motabalism moving and your digestive system working better. Also brocolli is really good for PCOS, so when I go shopping later I'm buying lots. Will try and have it most days...not the biggest fan of it so probably shouldn't overdo it, otherwise I won't even be able to look at it.
That's it for me, just going to focus on weightloss...just to point out how quickly I gain, I went out Saturday night, weighed myself and had gained 4 lbs! Ridiculous! Then had a meal out Sunday, so by Monday I was 5 lbs heavier. So have been so strict since and I think I'm back to where I started, official weigh in is tonight. Makes me think that going out is not worth, but don't want to be boring and avoid all social situations. Hubby wants to go out to dinner next Friday (our son is going to stay with his grandparents) so thought we'd have a date night but now I'm thinking is it worth it?! Oh well, he wants Thai and it will be a nice meal, so will just have to fix the damage after.
Almost the weekend! Hooray!! x
up for every 2 days then you should have things covered!! I hope you O soon - good luck!!!
